I got laughed at yesterday for saying "Crikey". Rather than put me off, I have now decided I am going to pepper my conversations with the good old sayings. From now on, rather than feel silly cos I've said something old, naff or posh - I'm coming out with the "Cor Blimey", "Eee by Gad" and "Golly Gosh" sayings of this fine country. We can't let these die out folks, can we?

We have an old saying in our family which goes back to something that happened in the early 1900s. "We haven't laughed so much since the wry necked ferret arrived". Don't ask.
